National Park Service officials say there was no way to predict the Dragon Bravo Fire would turn into an inferno, jump containment lines and rip through the Grand Canyon's North Rim, leaving a historic lodge and 100 other structures in smoking ruin.

Water infrastructure is not merely collateral damage during wildfires—it is now a central concern.

PHOENIX – Containment continues to grow incrementally on the Dragon Bravo Fire, which has been burning north of the Grand Canyon for around six weeks. There will be a community meeting on Monday, Aug. 18 at the Fredonia High School gym where the public will be allowed to submit questions to the Incident Management Team.
